About the author

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

I dabbled in the Cult of $cientology when I was much younger, before the internet. I've not only read this book but also taken the course that accompanied it. Pure drivel. What gets people involved with this cult is they package common sense guidelines that are easy to agree with, and then slowly start adding the malarky. You'd do much better ignoring this book and everything else to do with it.

Livro simples e conciso sobre como aprender uma matéria ou um conceito. Ofereceram-me quando andava no secundário, pelas minhas incríveis notas a matemática…
Teoria boa e completa, só faltaram alguns exemplos em certas explicações dadas.

Amazing book. Tom Cruise uses the study tech for his roles in movies and to help him with dyslexia. I used to be in Scientology and still use this book today.

What are the barriers to study and why is it important to overcome these? This is about real understanding and not just memorizing as the understanding determines the ability to apply and use what one has learned.

I used this book as a kid to learn to study, but it isn’t just for kids. It’s for people who need to learn to study, from the students you would expect to anyone wishing to get better at what they do and learn. I highly recommend this book and the course that comes with it.
